So, this is the main point of this release: to update the internal implementation of the Flickr REST API in frogr (which, ideally, will be released independently as a library at some point) to use OAuth instead of the old authentication API.

Additionally, in order to make things easier for users of older versions, the application will take care of exchanging the authentication token from the old system to the new ones used by the OAuth API. If you want to know more details about this, check the related API. For the rest of you, you shouldn’t notice anything the first time you run this new release.

Still, some other things were included in this new release that are worth mentioning:

Ability to import tags already present in pictures (e.g. as set by f-spot or shotwell).

Allow users deciding, right from frogr and on a picture-by-picture basis, whether to set the geolocation information for pictures when uploading them to Flickr.

New tags are added to the auto-completion without having to upload anything first.

Allow using a dark version of your theme if available (e.g. Adwaita).

Some redesign of the menu bar, thinking of a future migration to GMenu.
